The Sole Predictor of Your
Financial Future

What are the chances it will happen to you?
It happens to 77% of adults living in
the United States. In other words, it is going to happen to you.
This is why I encourage people... they MUST start or buy a small business,
preferably one they love. Something that is fun, or rich with meaning
for them. Most small businesses cost little to start and can
cause an income much higher than any job they ever had, in just a few years time...sometimes faster.
The only expenses you want to make in your younger years (pre 60's)
are tax deductible expenses (home, business, and educational programs, which can include college though as you can see the self-employed does much better than college on average.) Optimal? Programs that will
pay off shortly after the expense is incurred. That's it.
Today's balanced life (9 hours of hell balanced by a 1/2 hour commute and home time later) is truly a David Copperfield style illusion....
But let's look at today.
If someone loves their job, they are in a potentially good life
situation. Work that is meaningful that is secured by the
individual's overwhelming skills that make them almost irreplaceable
is a nice beginning.
What's missing?
Focus
Life doesn't need to be balanced if it is focused.
If it is focused, it is self-balancing both short, medium and long
term.
A focused life is one where the person (family) can take care of the
rainy day today while they love what they do. They know that life is
short. Sometimes unfairly so. They take care of their family today
and have a tiny cushion, say $50,000 dollars, for the short rainy
day. Additionally, they have their retirement taken care of. I'll
spare you the pain of that subject for another day so we can get back
to focus....
The focused life is self-balancing because ALL DAY you are engaged
in meaningful, important, fun, and/or interesting activity that is
taking care of you and your family today and into the future. You are
living the life of YOUR choosing. (This can include working at a job
you love and find important, or, your own business.)
And for you?...What about YOU?
